Building Homenet from source

This page explains how to download and build Homenet from source. This entails downloading and installing the tools required to build OpenWrt, adding Homenet to the configuration, and then building a new image.

Step by step

0. Installing build prerequisites
(These commands are suitable for Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and other related distributions, please see your distribution's documentation if you are unsure if this applies to you).

In this menu make the necessary adaptions for your target device and then go to the “Network” category and select hnet-full. This will install hnetd (the main HNCP daemon), ohybridproxy (the mDNS hybrid proxy) and babels (source-routing capable babel). At your own discretion you can also manually select hnetd alone or together with either of the two other packages which can be found in the “IP Addresses and Names” and “Routing and Redirection” subcategories.

5. Installing and Configuration

Please refer to the OpenWrt website to learn how to flash the built image on your device. Afterwards please see Setup and Configuration to setup and configure hnet.
